Lancers, Bobcats Poised For Finals Rematch

They dominated all season, and now, will face each other in the KCSSAA rugby finals, just as they did last season. For the UCC Lancers, they’ll enter the KCSSAA final undefeated with a perfect 7-0 record, including Friday’s semi-final win over Wallaceburg.

Their finals adversary, Blenheim, enters with a 5-2 record, with their only two losses coming against the UCC Lancers.

That doesn’t mean however, that the Lancers will be the favourite in the May 17 final as the Bobcats handed UCC an exhibition loss during a tournament last weekend.

As well, Blenheim has history on their side, as they defeated UCC 12-5 last season in the Kent Championship game.

In their first meeting this season, Blenheim got out to a confortable lead before UCC scored during the final seconds of the game to win 17-15. Their second match a month later was a more convincing win with the UCC Lancers taking the game 29-7.

UCC advanced to the final by defeating first year Wallaceburg 80-0 in the semi-final, while Belle River forfeited to Blenehim automatically advancing the reigning champions to the final.

The location and time of the May 17 final has yet to be announced. Continue to follow CKSN for updates on the game.
